Chapter 171 – THE MAN WHO CORRUPTS THE DEMON SWORD (2/2)
I extracted two kinds of fear and scattered them.
The aura instantly enveloped the royal palaceーーthe “Winter Palace”, but it’s not enough.
「More, much, much, more」
『n……ahh……』
『I’ll do my best!』
I gathered more strength. I gripped the Demon Swords and extracted powers from them.
The aura spread out, it continued to spread widely.
The aura that had spread gradually covered the castle town and soonーーthe whole royal capital.
The fearーーit mercilessly enclosed Aegina’s capital, Rethim.

I warped together with the bed, bringing it to Delfina Merchant Company in Malonei.
Delfina who was waiting saw that and rolled her eyes.
「This time it’s His Majesty the King huh」
「If it’s you, you would’ve expected it right?」
「Yes, that is true」
「For the meantime, I want to ask you to hide him. Secretly, that is」
「Of course. If anyone finds out that I was involved in kidnapping His Majesty the King, I would literally be terminated」
While rolling her eyes, Delfina jokingly said, then called her so-called trusted subordinates, and took away the king who continued sleeping even after all that happened.
Well then, the matter is temporarily resolved with this.
Next is Selene, I guess.
『Really, you’re really shuprishing me』
「……shu?」
The voice that echoed inside my head was different from usual.
The tone and the words were that of Eleanor’s, but.
『What’sh the matter?』
「What kind of joke is that?」
『I cansh undershtand what your shaying』
……。
I’m the one who can’t understand.
Why the heck are you suddenly lisping?
What happened?
『Okaa-san, she looks somewhat cute』
「Cute?」
『Un, it’s like she became a little girl』
「Little girl……?」
“Don’t tell me”, I thought, invoked while walking, and moved to the lottery place.
The strange place the lottery place. Only in this place can Eleanor return to her human form.
And what I saw there was……a little girl that seems to be Eleanor.
She originally has an appearance similar to that of a young girl.
But she became even younger!
「Waa〜, Okaa-san looks cute〜」
Hikari hugged Eleanor.
Eleanor usually looks a little bigger, so although they look alike, they would look like big sister and little sister. However, right now, their positions were completely reversed.
A first grader, the big sister Hikari, and a three-year-old, the little sister Eleanor.
It looks like that with a glance.
What in the world just happened?
「Dear Customer, although I’ve repeated this many times, please do not bring such strange bonding scenes here」
The staff of the lottery place talked to me while rolling her eyes as usual. Her eyes being endlessly kind towards Hikari was as usual as well.
「My bad」
「Also, how absurd this is. To corrupt a Demon Sword while being human」
「Corrupt a Demon Sword?」
「Dear Customer’s strength has exceeded the Demon Sword’s, so, that power has corrupted the Demon Sword’s spirit. That’s why even her appearance here has changed. Dear Customer, you have completely exceeded the Demon Sword huh」
「Is that so? No, but Hikari hasn’t changed though?」
「You probably held back because she’s your daughter. After all, playing with kids would make a person hold back naturally」
「Ahh, I see」
She’s right. I would hold use discretion when playing with kids.
And normallyーーI would use Eleanor with all of my strength just like I declared, but I might be unconsciously holding back with Hikari.
I see, that’s why only Eleanor changed huh.
「Well, if it’s a Demon Sword in Eleanor’s class, I believe that she would return to normal soon. Rather than that, Dear Customer, this is a lottery place you know?」
Just looking is unwelcomed, huh.
I took out one lottery ticket and gave it to her.
「Then, just this one」
「You really only came to have your family bonding huh……well, it’s fine though」
Although she’s rolling her eyes, the staff looked pleased seeing Chibi Eleanor and Hikari playing.
